Could it be possible, if you were to not attempt to speculate the age range of the paleolithic artists in question, that the ability or drive to artisticly render one's suroundings, are infact a part of our primal instincts, because somewhere, sometime, someone decieded to try this for the first time, without anybody teaching them, and they probrobly looked exactly like what your kids draw in the halway with cryola and mom's lipstick, because even these people would have to hoan their skills to be able to do this, eventually compiling techniqes to better render them. This didn't happen simutainiously, because drawings found in Altamira, spain, even though they were made more resently( 15,000-10,000 BCE), are not as well drawn as those found in Chauvet, France which actually date back to around 40,000 BCE. Meaning that either tecniuqe did not originate in the same place, or that it may have been lost due to a change in living style, ie, the hunt became more importnat than the drawings. but there is also the argument that you have made above, Paleolithic Taggers of sorts possibly.
